Summary: Prickly, Grouchy, but Undeterred--Agatha Survives!
Comment: This most recent of M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series (all complete delights for cozy-holics like me) finds our Agatha at long last rid of her handsome ex-neighbor and ex-husband James Lacey, who has sold his cottage and joined a French monastery. And good enough for him, too, after the way he treated our Agatha. Regular readers will be delighted to see Agatha recovering surely if slowly from the wounds inflicted on her by the misogynistic, emotionally abusive Lacey...and will find further snickers in the brief images of the fickle tightwad Sir Charles Fraith, a former partner in investigation and erstwhile lover, caught in a not necessarily happy marriage and newly chubby to boot. Don't we all want to see Agatha find a man who thinks she's as funny and worthy as we do? Could her new neighbor, the famous author John Armitage, be The One? Can't wait for the next installment in this series to find out! As far as the plot, it's predictable and delightful. If you're an Agatha Christie fan, you'll recognize the plot and certain clue devices early on, although Beaton takes a few twists and contemporary turns on the original. Beaton never fails to delight in her plots, nor in the continuing saga of the grumpy but tender-hearted Agatha! More, more, more, and more, please Ms. Beaton!

Summary: Who Killed the Bride?
Comment: In the 12th book in the Agatha Raisin series, Agatha is still feeling a bit blue after her husband, James Lacey, leaves her to join a monastery. Saying that his brain tumor is now cured, he tells Agatha that he wants to become a monk and moves to France. Sad and alone, Agatha takes a holiday to a small island, and while she is there, she spots a newlywed couple, only to find out days later that the groom murdered the bride. Returning home, Agatha is determined to forget about James and Sir Charles Fraith, who has also married. When another dead body shows up (again in a wedding dress), Agatha feels that the fates are screaming at her to get involved. Is it suicide or is it murder? A new love interest, next door neighbor John Armitage, might be just the help Agatha needs to solve her latest case.
The Agatha Raisin series is one of my favorite cozy mystery series on the market today. Agatha is a tough cookie, but definitely has a warmer side that she keeps hidden from the casual observer. Her antics are legendary, and even though her motives are usually good, she always finds herself in heaps of trouble. I am glad that James has moved on in this book, as his character was annoying and selfish. I am eager to see Agatha with a decent love interest, but feel that all of her love problems may add to her charm. If you like cozy mysteries and have not tried this series, pick up a copy today and join all of the Agatha fans from around the world!
The first book in this series is "Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death". Enjoy!
A Cozy Lover
